Back to Plotter Kill Preserve (I might as well move in...)

I thought it was interesting how everything outside of the preserve seems to still have a little bit of summer left in it. The trail runs down into a 300 foot gorge, I'm guessing it stays a little cooler down there which would probably cause the leave to change earlier. I never noticed this until I reviewed my shots at home, but the creek almost seems to divide summer and fall.

Edit: Fixed some underexposure. The shot was bracketed to get the trees on either side exposed properly. Basically, that means I took a darker photo and a lighter photo of the same scene, then combined them.

I wish I would have thought to feature the bridge in the distance a little more (from here it looks like a fallen tree). Walking across it was like walking across seasons. I didn't notice as it happened, but the atomosphere just completely changed as I crossed the bridge the first time.
